About yourself. Something potentially unexpected and interesting, though not necessarily introspective.
I'll go first.
I think the TV show Reba is hilarious.
I wish my parents were divorced and both of my siblings lived with me, or nearby.
I am strangely graceful at times. This one I can't really explain or quantify, I just am.
Sometimes I pretend that people's shoes tell me a great deal about their personality, and I work out who I like and I don't like around me.

I usually answer these kinds of questions with some sort of negative confessional about myself, so I'll actually say something positive:
I'm actually considered a quite talented fiction writer 'round these parts, and hope to continue working on my craft in graduate school relatively soon. Yeah, I write short stories and people like 'em, assholes.
I am also a hamburglar.
One of the above is true. You must decide.
ps. I think Reba is quite good, actually. Surprisingly good. And Reba's damn cute, especially for her age. Yes, I'm embarrassing.

Uhh, here's one: I can't word myself properly at all:
I have chronic headaches and feel sick basically all the time now. I blame it on Seasonal Affective Disorder, but it's probably because I don't sleep and because I hate everyone around me.
I fear basically everything that's coming up in the future and don't like just how unclear everything is in front of me. I hear that some people like that feeling, and I think I used to.
I really, really hate television. Specifically South Park. High school ruined it for me, and it subsequently ruined the rest of television for me. I can't watch it anymore.
I wish I read more, but whenever I try to, unless it's a library book, I always give up because I never feel incentive to continue reading, unless it's a really, really interesting book.

So far so not too shabby. I'm not particularly surprised, but not too impressed. A lot of these things I could have guessed about a bunch of you, especially those of you that seem younger.
Something I don't know.
I am incredibly afraid of becoming like either of my parents.
I just don't care that much about the people I'm around sometimes but I can't stand feeling lonely.
I have absolutely no idea about how to initiate sex with any tact whatsoever.
The reason I haven't been proactive about finding a fix for recording lag is because I don't think my music is very good anyway. I mostly got into it to relate to others in high school, and although I do truly enjoy it I feel like I'm missing some sort of creative gene or inner voice that other musicians have.

I slept with a blanket until I was sixteen. Not for comfort or whatever, but because I can't stand laying in bed and having my hands idle beside me. I've taken to sleeping with pillows on both sides now so I can grip them.
I really, really like writing creatively, and am astoundingly good at poetry, although I hate poetry.
I hate cell phones and make constant excuses to not have mine with me.
I actually like a fair portion of romantic stories/chick flicks. Example: I REALLY liked Grey Matters.
I don't like/love any of my family.

You know, the SAD and the fact that you hate everyone and don't sleep could be related.
And I hate most tv as well. I went 5 years without cable so I would never watch it but would pick up a couple shows on dvd here and there, and now that I HAVE cable for the first couple weeks I had the tv on all the time and now it's right back to the way it was before. I mean, I like the Daily Show and the Colbert Report which I was never able to really watch before, but nothing else really interests me.

-- When I feel really stressed out, I like to go to a buddhist center for meditation/dharma talks, though I am kind of skeptical about the whole religion thing.
-- I think I'm pretty but I find it really difficult to believe that anyone else means it when they say I am. A lot of times I purposely ugly it up (no makeups w/breakouts, schlubby t-shirts, etc) to try and avoid the attention I get from creepy lecherous dudes with no game.

ninth has touched my wiener.
I think everyone already assumed that was the case.
Stuff about me not everyone knows even though I've mentioned some of it here:
I can juggle. I used to even have a set of juggling pins I could do pretty well with.
My family used to have an autistic kid live with us for 'skilled development' because his mother was batshit insane and shouldn't have even been allowed to take care of a NORMAL kid, let alone one with special needs like that. I'm not sure where he is now.
I still have a secret childish obsession with holographs. When I was younger, I tried to convince my parents to let me get the equipment needed to make them (including a laser) so I could do make them in my garage.
I'm 50% at risk for Huntington's Disease
Since my best friend moved to Florida, I only have 3 people I hang out with regularly, and one of them I only really still hang out with because I don't want that number to go even lower.
I'm naturally a very neutral person. I normally need someone/something to push me in either direction and once that goes away it's not long before I go back to being neutral. It's not uncommon that my neutral face is perceived as boredom or grumpiness when it's really not.

Everything about me has improved over the years, darling.
When I was little, I used to think black-and-white was a technique they used to make movies scarier. This is because the only B&W stuff I knew as a kid was the old Dracula, Frankenstein, Wolf Man, etc. So whenever I saw anything on TV that wasn't in color, I assumed it was a horror movie and wouldn't watch it.
There's nothing special about me and I'm never going to amount to anything.

-Everything makes me sick. About a week ago I threw up because I had about two cups of ice.
-Whenever I have the option, I use a 24-hour clock, even though it always takes me a second to "translate" the time if it's past noon.
-I've noticed that I use adverbs more than the average person. Mostly "admittedly" and "decidedly".
-Part of me is always worrying that my friends will eventually abandon me.

Jebus was my first real internet friend. I was 11, that was 5 years ago holy shit. True story.
Edit: More stuff
- (somewhat related to first one) Anyone I've met online and talk to regularly or have kept in touch with for more than just a few months, I met on here. <lamecheeseyness> I seriously have met the most awesome friends I have ever had through this place, even if I've never met them face to face. </lamecheeseyness>
- That being said, there's at least a few things about everyone I actually know that I don't like, or they just do things that I find no fun or purpose in, which has eventually led me to just stop talking to them, or just make them hate me by being a bitch about it to them. I'm picky? Possibly.
- I really like where I live.
- But I really really REALLY miss the amazing Mexican food places in my old town, as much as I complained about it. It's not across the state or anything, but it's quite a drive.

I hate Red Red Wine. Both the drink and the song.
Despite being pretty poor, especially in comparison with my friends, I can't help but notice that out of nowhere I've suddenly become very generous with my money.
I consider myself a pretty big Jim Carrey fan, though I hate Dumb and Dumber, Bruce Almighty sucked and Eternal Sunshine was among the most disappointed I've ever been watching a movie.
I get bad headaches pretty much daily.
- I don't own a tv, or wait, I do own a tv, but it isn't connected, because I refuse to "go out of my way" to connect something that's going to waste (even more of) my time. I like & enjoy tv-less life.
- sometimes my room gets so messy, I need to jump for my bed. other times my room is just very messy.
- I feel so goddamn ordinary sometimes, that at moments I would like to do something insanely crazy. then again, people will look at me like I'm nuts.
- RickyCrack, I've once bumped my forehead during sex so badly, I walked around with a dark blue bump right above my nose for weeks.
- I firmly believe everything that involves the brain has a conductive (?) scale. sexuality, about every psychiatric disorder, so insanity... this means that everyone has a certain potential to develop a mental state we used to, or still view as abnormal.
- lately I've really gotten into the cardgame bridge.
- like Thi, I really can't stand feeling lonely, although I can entertain myself for many hours when alone.

I'm an avid fan of LOTR-style fantasy. And get this - I own a mace, and I know how to wield it. Snap.
I actually have two homes. I go between them.
Despite being totally straight, I just can't help but get off with my best friend when we both get drunk.
Oh, and one last one - I much prefer to drink alone than with other people. Always have.
I <3 internet dating.

i have a really intense fear of death. now and then i will get a little "omg we're all going to die" panic attack. it's quite a bummer. my most recent one was triggered by an article about the inevitable death of the sun. y'know, in 5 billion years.
on a lighter note, i love clothes and shoes, but i can't stand the fashion industry and the whole scene.
i have a personality disorder which i choose to leave untreated as the side effects from the medications are far worse than the disorder itself.
i'm trying to give myself a bit of a personality makeover and try to be patient and kind with everyone. that being said, there are a few people on this planet whom i hate so much i almost get a physical reaction when i'm around them. i also look down on some people... like, a lot... and i can't bring myself to feel bad about it. *does justified superiority dance* :D
I bought a new pair of shoes last week and as a result have tripped going up/down the stairs almost every day since.
Alright...
- My parents once asked me if I was gay cause I was like 15/16 years old and didn't have a girlfriend yet...
- My whole family keeps nagging about that girlfriend thing
- Sometimes, especially in winter, I feel fucking lonely cause I have like 4 or 5 real friends and I know so many people who are way different and don't like me
- I ride about 5000 kilometers/year on my bicycle
- I think I'm not able to love anyone any more cause I just don't know girls that I possibly could love (...and I'm straight, so no boys...)
- I can't help but thinking that people don't take me seriously cause I'm younger(possibly true, but anyways)

And a big one: I'm actually extreeeeeemely poor, and have been able to get my hands on certain material privileges based on crazy circumstances. Like, I make about 70 bucks a week AND send money home to help my mom out, yet I have a Nintendo Wii and a great collection of books and a crazy awesome Macbook, thanks to rich ex-girlfriends and scholarships and bank loans. My household income was $7,000 a year every year, and I grew up on welfare/other forms of public assistance.

I had the same feeling. Granted, I always had the looks so I knew that if nothing else I could, at the very least, become a male model or a fashion icon, but I had doubts on everything else. On one hand, I witnessed endless stupidity; on another hand, I was intimidated by intelligence of others. Thinking where I "stood" between these two extremes and what does that mean to my life really overwhelmed me.
At times, my confidence really hit the floor as I struggled with the thought that "maybe I don't know everything after all".
Then, as I entered wider social circles in school and professional environments, I relaxed my obsession with relativism. I think I understood just how wide and diverse people are and I simply began to do what I enjoy doing and I discovered that there is room for me in a number of niches. As I learned more about it, I began to see opportunities instead of limits. Instead of worrying about potential, I worry about having the time to do it all. Truth is, there is so much out there. Trying to qualitatively assess the impact of your work versus that of say Einstein is futile because of the difference in context. He lived in one world, you live in another.
As for mediocrity, I could go on and say that "greatness" (and thus mediocrity) is a Western conception but that's not going to help you probably because it's not like it's about go away. Instead, be reminded that you own two fundamental skills: reasoning and writing. These are extremely important in our world beyond ways I can explain. If you put them to a right use in the right niche, I'm confident you can achieve whatever is it you want to achieve.

·I don’t know how DUIs work, but I obsess over the likelihood of me going to jail if I were to ever be pulled over because I just can’t walk a straight line.
·My name is Randy [last name] III, yet there is no Junior. God willing, my son will be IV.
·I have a problem with thinking that some bad things only happen to me.
·I take too much pride in never having smoked anything, ever.
·I find it extremely difficult to call people on the phone. Even relatives, friends, etc. If it’s a person I’ve never talked to before, I rehearse for 20 minutes or more, and many times, don’t end up calling.
·I tend to hate people who talk bad about my three main loves in this life: A certain band that goes nameless in these parts, The Indiana Pacers, and the movie “Liar Liar,” the last of which I know every word, so don’t even try to contend.
I'm sure that I'm getting dumber every day, mostly because I'm forgetting all that useless general knowledge stuff I used to retain back in high school. The Stamp Act was signed in 1765!
·I think I’m the only person left on earth who has never played Guitar Hero.
·“ “ “ “ “ “ “ “ “ “ “ “ owned a cell phone.
When I was out and about, I used to go out of my way to make sure white people heard me listening to rock music on my mp3 player so they wouldn’t be scared of me. And by “used to,” I mean I’m not doing it right now.

He believes that some stay dry and others feel the pain
He also believes a baby born will die before the sin
The school books say he can't be here again
The prisons make you wonder where he went
He built a tent and said the world is dry
He zoomed the camera out and saw the lie
He forecast to be falling yesterday
Only in the past is what he says
He raised your neighborhood insurance rates
He makes us happy 'livin in a gate
He made me cross the street the other day
He made you turn your head the other way
History quickly crashing through his veins
He's using you to fall back down again
He's seldom mentioned on the radio
He's the fear your leaders call control
He's worse than swearing worse than calling names
Say him publicly and you're insane
No one wants to hear about him now
Wish real hard he goes away somehow
He makes the best of friends begin to fight
But did they know each other in the light?
Every February washed away
He stays behind as colors celebrate
The same crime has a higher price to pay
The judge and jury swear it's not his face
Dirty secrets of economy
He turns that body into GDP
The bell curve blames his baby's DNA
But test scores are how much his parents make
He was flippin' cars in France the other night
He cleans the sewers out beneath Mumbai
'Cross the world and back he's all the same
Angels cry and shake their heads in shame
He lifts the ark of paradise in sin
Which part do you think he's 'livin in?
He's more than 'marchin more than passing law
He remakes how we got to where we are.

uhhh, guys, Thi wants you to tell him things he doesn't know...
Part of the reason I wanted to be told something I didn't know is because I can honestly guess a lot of it. There'll always be a lot of "I'm the only one who...", for example.
Some of the things are interesting to know, both because I obviously didn't know (the large majority of things I didn't, but I'm talking about the interesting ones).
I was conceived in Poland. The Americans evacuated her when Chernobyl went off.
It was funny, I was about to mention that Per wasn't contributing. I knew you had something in there somewhere!
I have been in a 7.3 earthquake.
I was once arrested in Japan for bike theft. All charges were later dropped when it was found that the bike had been stolen previous to my making off with it. I'm not sure I would have been arrested if I hadn't resisted the police.

My parents have lived all the interesting lives.
My crowning achievement so far though,
When I was in high school I managed to rake up roughly 80 hours of absence in my senior year (I skipped all my spanish classes among other things). Since I knew they were going to send a letter to my parents, I went and talked to the Student Counselor about it, I explained that I had switched from Spanish to Marketing (as a Marketing course in English had just opened up), and that they were still counting my absences in Spanish.
The next day my parents got a letter from the school, my mom emailed the student counselor, and he replied with something like "Don't worry Mrs. Pedersen, Per is a good student. He came and talked with me yesterday and I'm sure he'll do just fine. You have nothing to worry about."
That was probably the best timed thing I've ever done in my life. My mother printed out the email and kept it.
Oh also once I went stoned to work and because of that day they had to implement new idiot proof ways of labelling packages.

- Even though I'm better than the average person at virtually everything, I'm great at nothing. Like, I'm faster than the strong majority, but not the fastest. I can beat half the crowd at Guitar Hero, but I'm nowhere near the best. I get mostly A's, but I'm definetely not the smartest. I think this is because of lack of determination and I give up on something once I reach that "good" point. I don't which I'd rather be, good at everything and great and nothing or good at little and great at something.
- I love stand up comedy. I could watch it all day. And if the career I'm pursuing falls through, stand up is where I'm going to go.
- That career I mentioned is journalism because I'm a hell of an opinion writer.
- I swear I'm the only person I know that doesn't tick people off and tries to keep a good image with everybody.
- If you met my friends, you'd probably hate most of them. They're all good people, but can no doubt come by as d-bags.
- I don't burp, intentionally and unintentionally. I don't throw up either, unless I have like a really, really bad fever.
- I've wasted seriously over a thousand dollars on fast food alone in the past year.
- I could be the perfect example for balancing out the no life (internet, video games) with the night life (parties, girls).
- If a song comes on and I know the words, I will sing it.
- I take back what I said about that first thing, because I remember I'm great at three things: I'm the biggest sports fan I've ever met, I'm the best conversation holder I've ever met, and I'm the fastest, best texter I've ever met.

I'll get a little more in depth.
-I have 30 more credits (one more year) before I graduate with my BA in History Education, minor in Geography.
-I have an IQ in the 130 range, but try not to let others know because they already think I'm smarter than I think I am.
-I value common sense much more than strength, intelligence, and experience. It is my opinion that if you are a viable speaker and can think through common sense, you can get yourself out of any situation.
-I haven't spoken with my father since Christmas.
-I've had two relationships in my 21 years of living, however, everyone seems to come to me for relationship advice. I'm a best friend to many of the opposite sex, flirt constantly, but can never cross the line into an area being more than a friend. And for some reason I'm oddly at peace with this.

It's just that I don't like drinking with certain people, and those people tend to be the folk who're like "har har surely you'll join us for a night of partying", and I weight my options and usually go for "staying in, laming online". But drinking with my best friends is A++++++ and I wish I could do it more often. :/

I know this is going a few pages back, but regarding NineteenSeventyNine being braggadocios in this thread and other confession style topics...so what? It can sorta be off-putting, but at least he, unlike many of us on the BBS, is confident in a way that doesn't constantly tear others down (I'm including an honest criticism of myself in that remark, but also an honest and hopefully constructive criticism those of you who called him out on it too).

I think the main reason is that it's not honest. It's a dishonest facsimile of confidence that is completely transparent.
Whether it's better or not is up to interpretation, I would place it on a par with those who tore him down and that is an honest critique of myself.

Regarding drinking....
I think it's hard for me to enjoy myself with certain people, also, for one BIG reason. Trust. If we go to a bar, someone will say they will be the designated driver...and then two hours later they are shitfaced. I feel like I need to constantly be sober/nearly sober and watching everyone all night so no one that is drunk ends up driving and then I worry and wahwahwah. This only happens with certain friends. And it drives me up a fucking wall because it totally ruins my night because I'm worrying so much. And I don't want to go anymore because then I am constantly DD and feel like I'm just fucking babysitting everyone and making sure the other DDs are sober enough to drive. =\

I didn't say that non-virgins weren't afraid of rape. But virgins' fear is just bigger and weirder.

I'm not sure if you can understand what I'm saying, things might be a lot different in your culture.

I made my first confession several years after I was supposed to. The first time I went into the booth and waited for like 5 minutes, there was no one there, so I got bored and left. This sounds minor, but it was supposed to be this huge thing for a child here. I've never told anyone that before.
